Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211 The long sky, how can it be treated poorly by the people?

Not long after Cao Pi and others arrived at Jinling, Zhu Zhi had also returned with Jia Xu. As for the woodcutter... he had gone back to chop wood without any sense of presence, and did not meet Bai Tu specifically.

When he first met this famous "Poison Master" during the Three Kingdoms period, Bai Tu didn't show too much enthusiasm - so as not to irritate Jia Xu's sensitive mind.

After listening carefully to Zhu Zhi's report, Bai Tu rewarded him and asked Zhu Zhi to go back to rest first. When he was alone with Jia Xu, Bai Tu asked him to introduce himself.

Jia Xu understood that this was not only an "introduction", but also an opportunity to defend himself...

But... Knowing this, Jia Xu still didn't show any emotional fluctuations when he was telling the story, and he seemed to be an old man who was usually not energetic.

If Zhu Zhi had not seen his capable appearance when riding a horse, he might have thought that he was acclimatized before.

There was no deliberate sensationalism, Jia Xuping told his situation in a straightforward manner.

Jia Xu was born in Wuwei County, Liangzhou, and the situation here... has always been complicated.

During the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, although the Central Plains civilization repeatedly controlled the Hetao area, the degree of agricultural reclamation was always low. As a result, this area was still inseparable from the Central Plains civilization. Instead, most of the time, it was dominated by nomadic peoples. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that the degree of agricultural reclamation became substantial. With improvement, this situation begins to change.

Even before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when the Central Plains and other places were relatively stable, the Qiang, Huns, and Xianbei people... would cause chaos here from time to time.

Among the three, the Qiang people have the closest relationship with the Han Dynasty. Theoretically, most of the Qiang people in the Hetao area can also be regarded as common people of the Han Dynasty, but this is limited to "theory".

In terms of blood relationship, the Qiang people in Hetao are not nomadic peoples in the north, but are closer to the plateau Qiang people west of Sichuan and Shu, and this is also an area that was integrated into Chinese civilization relatively late—even the Anxi Protectorate was built in the Tang Dynasty. But there was still no way to deal with Tubo.

The Qiang people in Hetao are theoretically people of the Han Dynasty, but... they are more wild-tempered than Jiangdong Shanyue, not to mention the Huns who have moved inward in Hetao, and the Xianbei people in the north who are eyeing them.

In contrast, although there are many rebellions among the Qiang people, most of the rebellions that become serious are "hugging one's thighs." Although the Han people call them all "Qiang", they actually have little national character. Even the Qiang on the plateau are in Tubo. Before it was established, it was not considered as a whole, and it was generally to beat whoever was beneficial.

A hundred years ago, the Xiongnu moved inland and divided the north and the south again. The northern Xiongnu rebelled against the Han and the Qiang people followed... Later, they were attacked and destroyed by Dou Xian.

In the following decades, the Qiang people put down rebellions and suppressed rebellions, which created the reputation of Duan Ying, the God of Killing in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Thirty years ago, the Xianbei invaded the border area and the Qiang people followed them. Later, they were defeated by Zhang Huan. Dong Zhuo was Zhang Huan's army commander at that time. Later, Dong Zhuo, who was known as "a young good knight who tasted traveling among the Qiang", was in charge of Liangzhou. , Recruit more Qiang people for several purposes. There are a large number of Qiang auxiliary troops in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. One is west of the Hetao and the other is east of the Hetao in Dingyuan of Bingzhou. They use different routes to protect the environment and the people.

At this time, the Qiang people are not so much a nation as they are the collective name of countless nomadic peoples living here.

In their logic, some tribes believe that the Han people are powerful, and it is normal for them to join the Han people in suppressing and attacking other Qiang people. On the contrary, they have no empathy with each other...

Just like ten years ago, after a Qiang rebellion, Han Sui, a Han official, was elected as the nominal leader. Now Han Sui, who is based on Qiang people, is still a relatively powerful prince in Liangzhou.

The Central Plains only became war-torn after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but Liangzhou has never been peaceful...

Jia Xu grew up in this kind of environment, and like a lone star in the sky, he "suppressed" his parents and brothers to death...including his former wife and children. He was even kidnapped by the Qiang and Hu in his youth and worked as a slave for several years. slave.

Pain, madness, numbness...

The special growth experience did not make Jia Xu a murderer, nor did it arouse his banditry. Instead, it created his code of conduct with "survival" as the core. Even if the world is like this, I, Jia Xu, will never be able to survive. Want to live!
I don't want to be an ordinary person who can't control my life and death, but I also don't want to be a dangerous big shot, and try my best to stay at the level of a small official.

Until... Under Wang Yun's intimidation policy, Jia Xu broke out.

When telling this, Jia Xu also spoke in a straightforward manner, seeming to "disdain" to use his experience to move Bai Tu.

After Bai Tu heard this, his first thought was...rejoicing!
Fortunately, there was never a Qiang Hu. He thought of using Jia Xu's wisdom, but even when he was captured and made a slave, he only used his physical strength.

Fortunately, Jia Xu got a chance to escape in time, otherwise...if it really comes to a situation where Jia Xu will die if he doesn't stand up, in order to escape the fate of being exhausted, Jia Xu will most likely recommend himself to the Qiang and Hu leaders first in order to escape the fate of being exhausted. , to proactively demonstrate value.

With Jia Xu, who takes the "desire for survival" as the bottom line, and Qiang Hu, who has no taboos in his actions, Liangzhou may be on a completely different historical path!
From this point of view, Jia Xu's upper limit is also very high - as long as his life is not in danger, there will be no unethical behavior for profit.

In fact, from a fair point of view, this person is more noble than [-]% of people. It is also contrary to most "gentlemen". As Mencius said in "Gaozi [-]", those who can withstand coercion and "die for one's own life without sacrifice" People who "receive" will be tempted by "the beauty of the palace", "the support of wives and concubines", and "the poor people I know get me", Jia Xu... is the opposite.

When his life is not threatened, Jia Xu can be Yan Hui who eats food and drinks with a gourd, but once his life is endangered, he will not hesitate whether he is a bandit or a henchman.

After Jia Xu talked about offering advice to Li Jue and Guo Bang, he stopped and did not explain much.

He didn't even mention that he had given Liu Xie advice - if Bai Tu didn't know, he wouldn't mind talking about it, but since Bai Tu already knew, he didn't want to mention it again.

The reason for being so indifferent is not that Jia Xu's "desire to survive" has become lower, but on the contrary... Jia Xu is trying to test Bai Tu's reaction!

Since Bai Tu "invited" him to come to Jinling, he would never kill him as soon as he arrived. Even if he behaved more presumptuously now, he would be safe in a short time.

Therefore, Jia Xu wanted to take advantage of the safe period to test Bai Tu's attitude towards him. At this time, it would be meaningless for Jia Xu to use emotional words to please the other party.

If Bai Tu showed disgust, Jia Xu had to think about it. The way to escape later, if it was a false and business-like expression of understanding, but in fact he wanted to use him, then Jia Xu had to consider how much effort he would be safest.

Even if his family is taken to Jinling in the future, it will not affect his desire to escape. Even...if Bai Tu lets down his guard because his family is here, Jia Xu will feel lucky.

Of course, as long as it doesn't threaten his life, he also loves his wife, children and grandchildren, and puts his real emotions into it. It's just... In Jia Xu's view, emotions and so on, Only if you are alive can you deserve it.

Jia Xu seems to be drooping his eyelids now, but he is actually observing Bai Tu very intently and nervously.

I saw... Bai Tu's eyes turned red.

The eyes were not red with anger, but red with sympathy and sadness...

"Youyou Cangtian, how can I be so inferior to you?" Bai Tu said, stepping forward to hold Jia Xu's hand.

Jia Xu:……

Jia Xu couldn't tell for a moment whether Bai Tu's reaction was true or false.

To save others by oneself, Jia Xu felt that Bai Tu should be lying now. No matter he was a hero or a sage, there was no reason for him to be considerate of a chaotic man like himself.

However, if you really want to lie, you should pretend in the direction of "You are not guilty" or "I allow you to take advantage of the crime".

However, as soon as Bai Tu opened his mouth, he complained to heaven for Jia Xu, why he was treated so poorly...

"Heaven acts as it should, without bias or love, and I am not the only one... The Han people who were captured in that small tribe with me at the time were only one-tenth of ten who escaped during the civil strife, and many people in Liangzhou died in the war. , and far more than just my family." Jia Xu said solemnly, while trying to take his hand out.

On the one hand, it was to further test Bai Tu's attitude, and on the other hand... Bai Tu's words actually hit the softest part of Jia Xu's heart, making him lose control of his emotions, and he was not as calm as he appeared.

If he had thought carefully, Jia Xu most likely would not have forced himself into a dead end like this - this was not to tell Bai Tu that God was not so unfair. Wang Yun wanted to kill all the people of Liangzhou, but Liangzhou could only Out of him came Jia Wenhe!Do you have to lock the shit basin to death?
"How can the heaven be so poor as the people?" Bai Tu changed one word, but he held Jia Xu's hand without letting go.

No matter how strong Jia Xu is, how can he have the strength of a young man?

"Mr. Bai...does he only complain to the sky?"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he regretted it first. Although it was a safe period, he... shouldn't have been tempted like this!

I seem to be in a bad state today... When was the last time I was so emotional?
Is it the time when you abandoned your wife and children and ran away alone in the chaos, crying bitterly on the edge of a cliff, but in the end you couldn't even think of jumping off?

"Wish to change the sky for the sun and the moon!" Bai Tu said firmly.

"Mr. Bai is indeed a sage. He is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses in exchange for his own mistakes." Jia Xu said "touched".

Although his expression was moved and no longer as casual as before, in fact... this was Jia Xu's "desire to survive" gaining the upper hand again, obliterating the sentimental emotions that had just been revealed - the desire to survive told Jia Xu that now You should give it a lick instead of continuing to test.

Hearing the words, Bai Tu showed hesitation, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Wen He is just a good idea for the tyrannical people... The calamity in Guanzhong was the fault of the remnants of Dong's bandits, and the fault of the court. Gentlemen of Dagon. If Wenhe only wants to be a commoner, my Jinling land can accommodate an old man."

"No, Xu pays homage to the lord." Jia Xu seemed to have really been mobilized, and the meaning of calling the lord on his own initiative could not be more obvious.

"Okay! I will be kind to you because of the heaven's fault... I also hope that from now on, all the people in the world will be treated kindly!" Bai Tu said, patting the back of Jia Xu's hand with his other hand before letting go.

Jia Xu had also just arrived in Jinling. After bathing and changing clothes, he came to see Bai Tu, so Bai Tu also asked him to go back and rest first. The mansion was ready.

When leaving the main hall of the Chariot General's Mansion, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes wandered a little, and said to himself: I really want to be an ordinary old man, but... what if a hundred and eighty swordsmen and axemen rush out?
But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice...
